Oddities with LOTR extended version

I've been under the assumption that those repeat flags associated with 3:2 pulldown are just that, only flags and not actual frames. Every NTSC film movie I've seen so far has shown a framerate in Bitrate Viewer of 23.97, not 29.97 natively. Someone correct me if I'm wrong there. The resulting mpeg stream after the two passes with the anti-noise filter and a pulldown looks ok, maybe it was in fact just a really crappy encode to begin with.

Hi DDogg- I'm sorry, but I only have and use CCE 2.50, so I can't try it out. However, I'm having a little problem understanding the quotes. Is it written by native English speakers? :) I may be wrong, but it seems to be implying that it can only detect material that has been encoded as progressive in the first place. If that's true, then you might as well use Force Film in DVD2AVI before sending it to the encoder. It does say not to use it with video material. That may imply that you shouldn't use it with film material encoded as Interlaced or true hybrid material. But I'm not really sure. Sorry, not much help.

Hi- When I wrote, I realized that it might save you running Pulldown afterwards. But I was thinking SVCD and saving only a few minutes time, so I didn't think that was significant. But after you replied, I realized that you were thinking DVD and GB's of space. Yes, that could be really important. Maybe they'll iron out the kinks in a future release.
